Invigorating CEO week

This week, the full weight and responsibilites of an entrepreneur have burdened me with their sight. The recognition of what it takes on a daily and weekly basis to juggle one's personal life, business life, and project development life has reared its head. This was an unbelievably packed week, and at times, unbelievably depressing because I could not keep up with it all.

Topics upon which to ponder, along with a list of things to do:
  1. Consider earning an MBA instead of a MST (Master's in Tax) or MSA (Master's in Accounting)
  2. Consider obtaining a Ph.D. in education and/or curriculum design
  3. Notice the presence of inspirations to be more, dream bigger, and be a better individual Kristain Alfonso, Helen Morgandorffer
  4. Us ITtoolbox to develop a knowledge management plan for the corporation (I'm planning on have two main divisions, an accounting company and a success coaching company).
  5. Plan and/or mindmap my NaNoWriMo novel (part of the new corporate strategy, believe it or not). Consider House of Mirth as an inspiration with its theme: the struggle within the self against all odds by society
  6. Be involved in the Christmas spirit instigated in your life with Avon
  7. Understand and incorporate beauty in your daily life, such as the ballet I attend to do today
I'm stealing time away from my family tonight to enscribe the thoughts that would have otherwise been lost had I not created a misspelled, sporadic list earlier this morning in a rush preparing and leaving for the ballet interpertation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, a playful script of fairies, an enchanted forest, and lovers with mistaken identities.

My family will not leave me alone, if ever I give an inch to their desire or a small chat while strolling into the kitchen this weekend, I lose the invigorating thoughts prepared to write this entry, or to proceed with developing that knowledge managment system for my corporation. They're unknowingly, constantly interfering with my rapid thoughts that are quickly ignited an quickly varporizing unless I act upon them. Do you know this past week's daily events from work, to class, to home-office work for the accounting company I've lost a great deal of precious thought and momentum toward my goals? An entire week's worth! But that's the reality of a young entrepreneur working hard to achieve his/her dreams.

Anyway, thought the family is an annoyance, they're an asset and a liability. They provide me my sustenance, my joy, and very little overhead cost! So I've learned to deal, and it's made me stronger.

This afternoon I spent two hours at the ballet with my sister, and tried to enjoy the experience of being in a theatre, like Lucy and Ethel did on their night on the town in "Lucy's Night in Town" but failed to do so after the first five minutes since I realize there were no spoken words. Only dancing. I'm an intelletual, I came to be educated as well as entertained - I tried with all my mental might to try and interpret the dance, since I'd read a Sparknotes summery of the play beforehand, but it hardly worked. I can't understand wordless art, so I tolerated the event I'd been earlier so excited for, and came to realize now, only five hours later that the trip to downtown was worth the experience. It revealed the reason why I aim to achieve art in my writing and life. Here's my tip to fellow entrepreneurs: experience being a young entrepreneur. Attend conferences you may not likely attend, just to understand how it progress. Go with some goal, and then think afterwards about who you could use it, the people there, the resources, or the experience as an asset to you as a person, and therefore, to you as a business. I plan on using the ballet experience in developing a product toward my success business that which will be entertaining and useful to the user. The tradtional "making lemons out of lemonade" axiom rings in my mind.
